Community Contributions

The Temple has been serving the community for over 20 years, and the vast majority of our funding comes directly from Temple founder Genevieve Vaughan.

Since we are “gift economy”, and do not charge for rituals or stays in the Guest House, I would like to talk with you about the many ways you can contribute to the Temple, should you wish to do so.

But first let me say thank you to all who have (and continue to) support the Temple with your energy and donations. There are not words to properly thank you for your generosity! It is so greatly appreciated.

There are three ways to contribute to the Temple:

The first would be donating your time/labor to maintenance and projects.

There is ALWAYS a leaking pipe to fix, a path to rake, a floor that needs mopped, or trash to pick up from around the grounds.

Anyone wishing to come out for a few hours to help, should contact me preferable a day or two ahead of time. I can then make a list of projects for you to choose from, and have tools and supplies on hand.

The second way you can contribute to the Temple is by donating supplies for the Temple and Guest House or materials for maintenance and projects. There is a short, general list of items ranging from toilet paper to bird seed posted on both the website and bulletin boards at the Temple. For additional needed items and materials for projects, please give me a call. 702-569-0630

The third way to contribute to the Temple is monetarily. You are welcome to designate what your financial gift is to be used for (and it is tax deductible).

In 2014, I dream of replacing the clothes dryer (the old one has died), getting replacement kitchen cabinets in the Guest House, planting more trees and cactus, getting new tires and a tune up for the Temple truck, and (dream of dreams!) building a large, covered picnic pavilion near the Temple that can seat (at least) 50 people. (The guest house is too small to continue hosting our ever growing events.)

If you have ideas/suggestions on how we can achieve any of this in the upcoming months, I would love to hear from you!
